Feel Confident In Your Smile
All-on-4 is an efficient solution to restore your missing teeth and give you back your confidence. This process is called “All-on 4” because it uses just four dental implants to restore a full arch of teeth. All-on-4 is a great alternative to dentures if you’re looking to gain the freedom to talk and eat in public without concern.
We understand how important it is for you to feel comfortable with how your smile looks and feels when you’re with friends and family.
Dental implants typically require up to six months, but with All-on-4 Dr. Reger will provide you with a fully functional set of temporary prosthetic teeth in just one day. Additional benefits of All-on-4 include:
- No need for gum grafting
- Boost your self-confidence
- Stimulate healthy jawbone growth
- They’re easy to care for with regular brushing and flossing
Here’s How We Do It
Your full set of implants will be placed in just one appointment, and we’ll provide you with a temporary set of fully functional teeth to wear while we craft your permanent dentures.
With All-on-4 implant-supported dentures, you’ll have a beautiful smile that looks and feels completely natural. Through a process called osseointegration, the bones in your jaw will develop a secure attachment to the dental implants, keeping your new teeth firmly in place.
Here’s what to expect with the All-on-4 process:
Step 1– You meet with Dr.Reger to determine if All-on-4 is the ideal treatment for you.
Step 2– Dr. Reger will surgically place your attractive temporary All-on-4 prosthetic. All the necessary surgical procedures, including any extractions, will be completed at this time. We offer dental sedation to make the process as comfortable as possible.
Step 3– Make sure to set aside a few days to rest and relax following your surgery.
Step 4– As soon as the dental implants become fully integrated with the bones in your jaw, you can return to our office so Dr. Reger can place your permanent prosthetic.
We go to great measures to ensure your comfort during the entire process. Please let us know if you have questions or concerns at any point during the implant process.
Am I A Candidate For All-on-4?
Even if you’ve been told in the past that you couldn’t get dental implants, All-on-4 may be right for you. All-on-4 is now available for many patients, even those with jawbone deterioration. Thanks to its advanced technology and our expert technique, All-on-4 makes smile restorations possible for more patients than ever before.
To see if you’re a good candidate for All-on-4 treatment, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Chris Reger. He’ll be happy to sit down with you, examine your teeth, hear your concerns, and help you find the perfect solution for your smile.

Is the All-on-4 procedure painful?
No, the All-on-4 treatment isn’t painful because Dr. Reger will apply local anesthesia to numb the surgical area before your treatment. This will ensure you don’t feel any pain while your implants are placed.
As with any surgical procedure, you’ll likely experience some discomfort for a few days after treatment. Most patients only report mild symptoms, but we can prescribe pain medication if needed.
How long does the All-on-4 procedure take?
Perhaps the greatest advantage of All-on-4 is that we can provide you with a temporary prosthetic immediately after surgery, allowing you to leave your first appointment with a natural-looking, fully-functional smile. You also won’t need a bone graft, helping to save additional time and money.
In a few months, when the implants have fully integrated with your jaw, you can return to our office for your final restoration. Once your dentures are attached, you can enjoy the benefits of a healthy and beautiful smile for many years to come.
How do you clean All-on-4 implant-supported dentures?
Maintaining your restorations is crucial to extending the life of your implants. Fortunately, cleaning your All-on-4 restorations is as easy as cleaning your natural teeth — just brush twice and floss once every day to keep them looking spotless. We also recommend using an alcohol-free mouthwash along with using non-abrasive toothpaste.
